I am a responsible, committed person with a positive attitude. I have completed a Master’s degree in Education, Culture and Society at St Mary’s University, Twickenham and worked as a base camp leader and educator for two years at an outdoor forest school nursery setting for children aged two to five years. I have nine years of experience working with children of various ages and obtain a BA (Hons) Early Childhood Studies degree and CACHE Level 3 Childcare and Education (Early Years Educator) qualification. I am looking for ad hoc / babysitting opportunities.
